Product introduction
Lamez OD 100 Tablet SR is a medicine that belongs to the group of anti-epileptic drugs. It is commonly prescribed to manage epilepsy and bipolar disorder.

The dosage will be carefully decided and gradually increased by your doctor to achieve the best results. It may take a few weeks before you start to notice improvement, so it’s important to take it consistently. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly without medical advice, as this may cause seizures to return or worsen mood symptoms.

Before starting treatment, let your doctor know if you have a history of liver or kidney problems, depression, or suicidal thoughts. It is also important to discuss all other medications you are taking, as some may interact with this drug, including birth control pills.
